CASTRO'S CURVEBALL

L.J. Ganser reads this glorious combination of baseball and politics with the fervor of an announcer at a major league doubleheader. Here is the young Castro deciding between the game of baseball and the game of politics. Both seem equally important in this sizzling novel of romance, betrayal, and secrets. Upon returning to Havana, catcher Billy Bryan relates the events of 1947 to his daughter as they find answers to questions left unanswered for fifty years. The mixture of the serious problems of the Cuban populace and the glamour of nightlife in Havana makes this book an evocation of the period. B.H.B.
